| Balance adjustment? I take it that you balanced the sound towards the speaker by the opening and away from the speaker close to the wall. Therefore the reduction is bass. Probably will have to reposition volume on sub, and possibly the sub itself. | |
| Anyone Upgrade NAD D 3020 Power Cable? You might check out Pangea's 14 series PCs. The 3020D is light and aftermarket PCs can get heavy. | |
| Best used DAC for $250? I believe both the analog board and the USB inout board can be upgraded in the Bifrost. Can't say how the two DACs compare, I did purchase a used Bifrost with the Uber analog board and find it quite satisfactory. I use a M2TechHyface USB/SPDIF con... | |
| Volume Settings/Control - DAC vs Preamp? If not bypassing the preamp, I would operate the Node 2 at full volume, unless the gain is such that you can't use the preamps volume beyond 9-10 0'clock. If that is so, back the volume off a little such that you are using the preamps volume aroun... | |
| Need advice! Do I upgrade DAC or buy a new player? I would look for a DAC and use the player as a transport. As you don't need USB input, you could purchase a high quality older DAC for a fraction of the original price. | |
| gain switch and volume control position Martomaras, thanks for your reply. I have created a thread asking for sonic comparison between the LCD-2 and LCD-2C as I am interested in the 2C version. I like George's position, the least attenuation is best. Having gain that is thereafter atten... | |
| Be Careful! I have had this problem also, never caused harm to equipment however. Had a integrated amplifier that would go into protection mode. Even happened when using the remote (metal one).As many have aforementioned, a discharge prior to touching equipme... | |
| Audeze LCM-2C vs. LCM-2 headphones Yea, upgrading a headphone system is far less costly that a speaker based one. There are other HP forums out there. I posted my question here as there are many contributors who's opinion I respect. I have been watching the Audeze LCD-2C thread on ... | |
| gain switch and volume control position Hi Mark, I am interested in the LCD-2 or LCD-2C. How do you like the Audeze/Schiit combo?Regarding your question, I lack the knowledge to answer. As tketchem stated, it seems that either way is OK, however, it seems to me, the best option would de... | |
| Component Placement If possible I would place source and pre on stand to one side of listening position, and, as noromance stated, the mono amps by the speakers. No soundstage interference around your speakers. | |
| Falling out of love with tubes You need a preamp and a DAC. Using the headphone output is not ideal. I agree that the SA 250 should be checked out. | |
| My wife is at it again......... What an entertaining Blog! Thanks. | |
| Looking for not too expensive Turntable If one was buying new, the Audio Technica LP-120 comes with a AT-95E cartridge. A friend of mine owns one and it seems very well built for the price (~$250 Amazon). I would also check out Music Direct, The Record Doctor, and Audio Advisor for alte... | |
| Gain into my preamp from DAC After talking to Jolida, Al's second descriptor for what accounts for my gain issue best fits. There is no conversion stage (op amp?) on the Jolida's XLR input. I now think I might be better off using the Brystons RCA outputs connected to the RCA ... | |
| Looking for not too expensive Turntable A PL-12D in good condition can be found for under $200. As a budget TT probably as good as any of the new ones under $400. What is your budget? |
